There is no need for a troll wrangler or troll trainer.
Sarah, I thought you might be smarter than this given your experience, but the evidence is now to the contrary. Sadly, you are not the only person who has either gone brain dead or allowed their ego to take over their common sense and forgotten how to deal with trolls
People go away fastest when ignored. If everyone stops responding to their attempts to create participation and incite emotional responses so they can keep increasing their post counts and feel like real men (which is doubtful), they will go away eventually. As Whispers alluded, you cannot run them off, they have to leave of their on accord.
The answer is simple; let them do their thing and ignore their posts.

We haven't called any nasty bad names or threatened to beat anyone up. We even included them in our playing around. (I think a couple might have a crush on me...)
No one is upset or taking any of it to heart.. It's all in good fun. I mean look... for once the trolls, providers, and hobbyist are all teasing and having fun without trying to smash each other to pieces verbally.
Besides with all the rain It's muddy out and I can't go work in the garden. Can't I please just this once play with them a little longer?
If not I'm going to have to think of something else to do...Hey! I know....Since we have all this mud and water, can we start topless mud wrestling? Trolls vs Providers? I can't speak for the rest of the providers, but I promise to play fair....
